,Logistics and supply chain management:
1: INTRODUCTION
Operations = processes that either provide services or create goods. They take place in businesses.
They are the core of what a business organisation does.
- The meat must be ordered in advance
- It takes four weeks before it is being delivered
- But the meat can only be kept for 2 weeks
= Again issues!
• How often to place an order for meat?
• How much meat to order?
• How much burgers to keep in the buffer?
• …
This is why this course is important.
- Follow up stock, inventory hold cost, supplier selection, work in progress (WIP)
- Risk like cow disease in this example

, WHAT IS OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT?
Definition 1:
Operations management is the planning, scheduling and control of the activities that transform
inputs into finished goods and services. (APICS Dictionary)
Goods are physical items that include raw materials, parts, subassemblies. Services are
activities that provide some combination of time, location, form or psychological value.
Definition 2:
Operations management deals with the design and management of products, processes, services and
supply chains. It considers the acquisition, development and utilization of resources that firms need
to deliver the goods and services their clients want. (MIT Sloan School of Management)
Definition 3: (uitgelegd)
The ideal situation for a business organization is to achieve an economic match op supply and
demand. Having excess supply or excess capacity is wasteful and costly. Having too little means lost
opportunity and possible customer dissatisfaction.
• The key functions on the supply side = operations and supply chain
• Key functions on demand side = sales and marketing
Each business organisation has 3 basic functional areas :
- Finance
- Marketing
- Operations
Operations management is responsible for the core. It is the management of systems or processes
that create goods and/or provide services.
Supply chain = a sequence of activities and organisations involved in producing and delivering a good
or service.
